View Full Version : installing flash player from CD

I cant find this on the forum but maybe i am blind. I want that when they insert my CD it will check if they have flash player installed and if not then it will be installed directly from the CD. Most of the users will not have internet access. Anyone can give me a detailed way to do this?

Thanx in advance
Martin

You'll have to visit Macromedia.com for details on distributing their software. No one but Macromemdia can legally give you permission or instructions on how to do that...

that's what i did. I now have a licensing agreement with Macromedia to distribute the player on my CD. Now back again with my question: I want that when they insert my CD it will detect if they got flash player installed and if not it will install it directly from my CD, by using the EXE (installer) that Macromedia gave me. Anyone can help me on how to do that?

thanx

What link did you go to get that from macromedia? I was reading in some previous post in regards to Acorbat Reader and it would seem you can use the same script for that action. If you do a search on Acrobat you should find it. I'm almost thinking you can also use a file.open and point to your .exe file for the users to install it. my 2cents worth anyway..

Martin, the easiest way to detect Flash version is to use the %FlashVersion% variable. Here is the info from the help file:

%FlashVersion%
The version of the Flash control (e.g. "6.0.23.0") currently installed and registered on the user's system.

If the Flash control isn't installed or registered on the user's system, this variable will contain "0.0.0.0".

You can use this variable in an IF statement and then run the Flash installer from your CD-ROM if it is not installed.

Thanx a lot Brett!
For "Pagedown" here is the link to license the distribution of the flash player.

You could try something like this, excuse my code its alway a little rough, but it should give you the idea.

Change the %Flashversion% > 7 to > 6 I only used 7 to test.

Have fun.

Do you put this action on a page( on initialize) or on a button(on mouse click) ?

John-oh

10-08-2002, 09:19 AM

Hilight code - Copy -
Open new page on the On Initialize Action - Paste

Looks a lot simpler when it's pasted in. /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

Thank You!!!! As I look over the code now I can see how it is working....

Would this work for IE install too..remove %FlashVersion%and paste %IEVersion%?? So could you run %FlashVersion% and %IEVersion% at the same time?

John-oh

10-09-2002, 03:12 AM

Dunno - give it a try.

I would have thought it would work.

You can also check for versions of other viewers and do a similar action.
This is how I check for and offer to install a PDF viewer,although I only use the version to display on another page. I got most (or even all) of this code from the kind folk on this forum.
It this case it only checks for existance but it could also check version # as previously.

It looks like you rely on having Acrobat installed. If they don't have it and they don't want to install the application quits. Is this on initilaization of the page?

Thanks.

Yeah TJ i noticed that, and its similar to the one earlier with the Shockwave, i noticed on my test run if you say no it Kills the whole app.. How can you insert a tag to just continue or display some text saying by selecting no you won't be able to view this file or something like that?

John-oh

Yes, I'm afraid I'm a bit aggresive with the users ....

" This would be a great app except for the users balls*ing it up " etc.

The actual app I copied this from only really displays PDF files, so, if they haven't got the reader its a bit of a waste of time, so they get expelled, maybe not suitable for more 'touchy feely' situations.

Anyway enough of all this, try it this way -

Experiment, thats the thing, oh and moan to IR about the lack of a PDF manual ../ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

Quick question, why do you get the date? Just curious if it is used for an expiration notice or something else.

I capture the date and display it on a later page, along with the build date, pathetic really, I only do it 'cause I can, in a feeble attempt to impress the punters.
Nothing to do with this example, just got left in by mistake.
